🧠 Cortex Linux

The AI-Native Operating System

Linux that understands you. No documentation required.

$ cortex install oracle-23-ai --optimize-gpu
🧠 Analyzing system: NVIDIA RTX 4090 detected
   Installing CUDA 12.3 + dependencies
   Configuring Oracle for GPU acceleration  
   Running validation tests
✅ Oracle 23 AI ready at localhost:1521 (4m 23s)

The Problem

Installing complex software on Linux is broken:

• 47 Stack Overflow tabs to install CUDA drivers
• Dependency hell that wastes days
• Configuration files written in ancient runes
• "Works on my machine" syndrome

Developers spend 30% of their time fighting the OS instead of building.

The Solution

Cortex Linux embeds AI at the operating system level. Tell it what you need in plain English—it handles everything:

• Natural language commands → System understands intent
• Hardware-aware optimization → Automatically configures for your GPU/CPU
• Self-healing configuration → Fixes broken dependencies automatically
• Enterprise-grade security → AI actions are sandboxed and validated

Status: Early Development

Seeking contributors. If you've ever spent 6 hours debugging a failed apt install, this project is for you.

Current Roadmap

Phase 1: Foundation (Weeks 1-4)

• LLM integration layer (Claude/GPT-4 API wrapper)
• Safe command execution sandbox
• Package manager AI (apt/yum/dnf intelligent wrapper)
• Basic hardware detection

Phase 2: Intelligence (Weeks 5-8)

• Dependency resolution AI
• Configuration file generation
• Multi-step installation orchestration
• Error diagnosis and auto-fix

Phase 3: Enterprise (Weeks 9-12)

• Security hardening
• Audit logging
• Role-based access control
• Enterprise deployment tools

Tech Stack

• Base OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Debian packaging)
• AI Layer: Python 3.11+, LangChain, Claude API
• Security: Firejail sandboxing, AppArmor policies
• Package Management: apt wrapper with semantic understanding
• Hardware Detection: hwinfo, lspci, nvidia-smi integration
